386 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Occupational Therapy OCT 7910—Capstone I In the first course of a three-course capstone sequence, students will explore capstone ideas related to their professional interests. They will explore the literature to develop and articulate the background and need for the capstone project. They will identify a faculty mentor for the capstone project and develop the plan for the residency experience. (3 credits) OCT 7911—Chronicity, Occupation, and Health Explores the relationships among chronic disease and disability, occupational performance, occupational satisfaction, and personal wellness when living with a disability from the standpoints of the individual and of society. Students examine clinical, ethical and advocate roles in the context of occupational therapy theory and professional practice standards. (3 credits) Elective OCT 7920—Capstone II In this second of the three-course capstone sequence, students will develop the capstone proposal with a faculty mentor, prepare the IRB protocol as applicable, and begin the residency experience to facilitate the development and implementation of the capstone project. (3 credits) OCT 7921—Capstone III During the third and final course of the capstone sequence, students will complete the residency experience and implement the capstone project. At the end of the semester, students will submit a final capstone paper, which is the culminating assignment in this course and the Dr.O.T. curriculum. In addition, students will develop a plan for dissemination and/or publication of the capstone project. (3 credits) OCT 8945—Studies for the Qualifying Examination For Ph.D. students who are preparing for, and taking, the Ph.D. qualification exam. (1 credit) OCT 8950—Research Residency This course is completed once a student passes their qualifying examination stage and has entered into Ph.D. candidacy. It requires a research residency experience related to the candidate’s area of research interest. The objectives of the course are related to specific skills and experiences that the student has to develop to complete and/or plan their dissertation research. (3 credits) OCT 8970—Doctoral Dissertation Supervised original study of occupational therapy evaluation and intervention. Prerequisite: admission to candidacy (3 credits) OCT 8971—Continuing Dissertation This course requires the approval from the Ph.D. program director and fulfills the requirement for continuous enrollment while the student is working on the dissertation. (1–3 credits) OTD 8100—Functional Anatomy for Occupational Therapy This foundational science course develops the knowledge of human anatomy necessary for the practice of the profession. It presents the anatomy of the human body in both lecture and lab format. Learning modes will be active and collaborative and involve models, dissection, and some work with basic imaging and virtual laboratories. It addresses gross structures and systems of the human body and integrates topographic and radiographic anatomy, stressing the importance to clinical practice. (5 credits) OTD 8101—Introduction to Didactic, Clinical, and Research Experiences This course introduces concepts of human occupation and the framework for active participation in learning about evidencebased practice of occupational therapy. It formally introduces the student to the delivery model of the curriculum including the concept, the student’s responsibilities during distance and face-to-face sessions, self directedness, and independence. The course also serves as a preservice training on safety and health precautions as well as fieldwork placement policies, professional behaviors, and relationship to curriculum design. Requirements to participate in Level I and Level II fieldwork placements and residency requirements are covered. (3 credits) OTD 8102—Foundations of Occupational Therapy This course traces the historical, philosophical, and theoretical underpinnings of occupational therapy as it evolved into contemporary practice. The student applies theories, models, and frames of reference in understanding how social, political, and economic factors continually influence current and future practice. Attention is given to interdisciplinary practice. (3 credits) OTD 8103—Kinesiology in Occupations This course promotes the understanding of normal human motion through skills learned in applying the principles of biomechanics, joint kinematics, joint kinetics, and muscle function. Experiences in the analysis and assessment of movement, muscle strength, and joint range of motion provide the student with opportunities to articulate the connection between kinesiology and occupational performance. (4 credits) OTD 8104—Neuroscience of Occupational Therapy Anatomy of central and peripheral nervous systems. Laboratory activities consist of student teams studying prosected cadavers, sections, radiographs, and models. (3 credits) OTD 8141—Development of Occupations across the Life Span This course provides opportunities not only to learn the continuum of human development that influences health and independence across the life span, but also to refine observation, analysis, reflection, and communication skills.
